Proper test I assume is something like a Kratos in one piece.

I hope you massively oversized the Wundel thingy to properly fit the print plate

Congrats on the new addition to your family!

Well, maybe not a Kratos, but I kinda want a Sicaran, so I guess that's as good a test as any ^^

I did think about it, but eh xD

The first proper test went well enough, I think. I printed these at 50 microns, and mostly the default settings:

Awesome. Are you running some AA there? I can’t see any layer lines at all.

Default settings, let me check... yeah, AA grey level 3 (possible values 0 to 8) and Image Blur Pixel 2 (possible values 2,3,4).

In the photos I can barely see some very faint layer lines on the chest area of the dark reaper proxy, but yeah, quality is pretty great. On hand it's mostly perfect and probably I wouldn't need to use thinner layers for "gaming quality" minis.

A resounding success!! The AA can be tricky, as I find a lower layer and lower, if any at all, AA setting will give you the best prints, but certainly a longer print time. AA and image blur can smooth out the layer lines, but also blurs the mini's details. Your details seem to have come out great, as they started as good, clean sculpts and that is not always the case with what we print!

I might try to turn off AA and image blur and run at .4 and another at .3 for small minis and compare. You might find the lower layer does not give a noticeable improvement given the longer print time and even the higher layer with the AA and blur gives a good enough print. Once you find that sweet spot, it is great.
